If I had to install a dozen more servers today, they would all get FreeBSD. It makes extremely good use of whatever hardware you care to give it. Indeed, FreeBSD can turn even junky old PCs into productive systems, since it is fast enough to do useful work even with creaky old hardware. Of course, this is presumably true with most versions of UNIX (those without a GUI to support, at least), but since my experience is with FreeBSD and it has been uniformly positive, I'll just continue with that. The thought of going back to a Windows server now makes my teeth chatter with terror--how awkward Windows servers seem now! (Then again, they seemed awkward even back when I used them regularly--have you ever tried to maintain a distant Windows server over a dial-up line with pcAnywhere?)

Now, on this server I run:
PF & Nat, serving my entire internal LAN. It is my gateway from the DSL to my LAN.
Nfs client and server. It's my file and back up server.
Apache2 W/ PHP and SSl, it's my web server for various projects, and acts as a back up web server for a friends project.
MySql (For some database driven web projects, and for virtual domain e-mail.)
DNS - Zone authoritave and caching.
DHCP - For the times when I need to add another machine to lan quickly.
SMTP, IMAP, POP (and their Secure equivalents) - Handles e-mail for a few domains, probably ~5000 mails a day, with all the lists and groups some of these people are on. (Myself included).
Spam filtering.
SSh
VNC over SSh.
X.org & enlightenment (So I can use synergy, since the server and my workstation are right next to each other.)
A few eggdrop bots.
Top and PFTop are constantly running, so I can be constantly in awe of just how well this thing runs.
A few other random and various daemons for monitoring and the like.
All on a generic + PF kernel. I never did any real kernel tuning. That's next week's project.
- Niy.
